White supremacism

White supremacism is the belief that the Caucasian (white) race is superior to the other races, usually seen in the context of anti-African-American and anti-Jewish sentiment (although most Jews are white) in the United States and historically seen in anti-immigrant sentiment elsewhere. The belief was championed by the Ku Klux Klan in the United States, the Nazi Party in Germany, and the Britain First party in the United Kingdom, and it is closely tied with xenophobia and nativism. White supremacists tend to be white Anglo-Saxon (of English, German, or Scandinavian descent) Protestants, leading to the movement gaining popularity in the WASP-majority American South and in Western Europe.
